Dumbledore is NOT GAY!!!

wow.. heaven forbid a child will learn that not everyone is the same.. and btw.. she was not going to say anything, but the director in the movie was going to add a love story with Dumbledore and a woman, but she told him that she did not want this because he was Gay.

I'm not sure exactly why you'd want to expand your demographic by a mere 2-6% of the population. That's assuming a portion of that population isn't already a fan. I agree with you though, why does it matter. It's not the point of the books (from what I know of them) so why bring it up now? Unless someone's looking for a little publicity.

Personally I think it's shit. It's supposed to be for kids. Can't there just be some special place for kids to read about that doesn't deal with the realities of todays fucked up world? Oh, and you're HOT! ;) MJ

I agree G. Sometimes I don't need to know everything.

@MikeJames so you think being gay is fucked up?

Wow, people relax. As was mentioned it came to light because the director was going to do something with Dumbledore's character and she wrote him a note explaining why he couldn't do that. Then it was brought up to her while she was answering questions during a Q&A session after a reading. Its not like she had a press conference or something. She developed these characters and likely they were more developed in her outlines and/or imagination than she put down in the books. So it stands to reason they have thoughts and motivations that didn't make it into the stories. The only sad thing about this is that people will make such a huge f'ing deal about it. Who gives a shit if he's gay or not. For all intents and purposes it played NO ROLE in the books themselves. Get over it.

Lol if she killed him off then it expreses what she thinks should happen to all Gay's ... PS Your hot in a Psycho looking way..=P

@Mike James Yeah. I hate the reality of today's fucked up world. Like, umm, I don't know, bigotry?

It's so sad that this day and age being gay is still considered a horrible tragedy. You fail to realize that J.K. Rowling is British, and the US is one of the few civilized nations where being gay is a horrible thing. She was probably not aware of the extent of American close-mindedness when it comes to sex.

I enjoy my view of Dumbledore, the grandfather figure, being dedicated to his passion for magic and defending those who cannot defend themself. And leave it at that.

I was basically saying that most of todays adult world is fucked up. Why bring up an imaginary characters sexuality into something where it shouldn't matter? Why even have a love story? Just let things be imaginary.

well I could give 2 shits if he is a pole smoker or not , but I will defend my friends and if you don't like what is being written STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE BLOG!!!! this isn't the open forum ..this is someone's blog..go read the 5,000 other blogs and try to start a flame war. my .02 :)

Your avatar picture scares me. 8)

For the record Darth, the comment sections are EXACTLY the venue in which to share an opinion regarding someone's blog. If they weren't looking for a reaction or an opinion, they'd be writing in a diary that would be locked before the ink dried. Personally, I think sexuality (homo, hetero or otherwise) should be introduced to children by the parents in their own time and place, not by some bajillionare children book author.

Taxi its not like she did it in a book, and the director of the movie was adding it to the movie and she stopped it (sexual relationship, not the type of sex) but I do agree with you on the comments section

sorry taxi.... about the sexuality, these are childrens books let the parents tell them , and I'm sick and tired of all these ED comercials at prime time ..what is this world coming too?
